Winter is a time to not only nourish your body, but to reflect and count your blessings, says Vania Bailey.
The professional makeup artist and Hawke's Bay "Brow Queen" believes in not only taking care of yourself, but also other people.
"First take care of yourself. Winter is a great time to change your skin care. Try something different. We need something a bit more nourishing on our skin during these cold months.
"Oil your body from top to toe and leave on for 20 minutes before you shower. This helps break down fat tissue and helps with blood flow. As you are putting it on think about your body and be thankful for who you are and what you are.
"Your body cleanses itself at night so by rubbing yourself all over with oil it helps to remove the build up toxins," Vania says.
